WIPER FOR AUTOMOBILE-SHIELDS.

Application filed September 21, 1917. Serial No. 192,509.

7 '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that GUsrAvUs H. SHULER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Munger, in the county of Bay and State of Michigan, hasinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Wipers forAutomobile-Shields; and he does hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters and fi res ofreference marked thereon, which orm a part of thisspecification. V

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in devices forwipin wind shields of automobiles and consists o a simple and efficientdevice of this nature having various details of construction,combinations and arrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fulldescribed, shown in the accompan ing rawings and then specificallydefine in the appended claims.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings which, with theletters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this specification,and in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation showing the application of my invention tothe support of a wind shield, and

Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail in elevation with the front of the casinremoved.

Reference now being ha to the details of the drawings by letters:

A designates the frame of a wind shield having supporting members B, anda casing 0 containing the operative parts of the device is clamped orotherwise fastened to the support of the wind shield and has journaledtherein a rock shaft D having a disk E fixed thereto. F is a wiper framecarrying a wiper H, said frame having a laterally extending lug K. A pinL projects from said frame and to which the up per end of the rod 0 ispivoted the lower end being angled, as at 0, an ivotally mounted in anaperture in the wal of the casing. A lug E projects from the disk and isapertured for the reception of a ivotal pin G, to which a bearing memberis pivoted, and through which said rod has a play. A wire, designated byletter T, has a hook and engages an aperture in said lug upon the wiperand its other end has an eye through which the shaft D passes, the saidwire serving as a means for holding the Wiper in a horizontal positionas it moves laterally back and forth over the wind shield.

.By the provision of a device embodying the features of my invention, itwill be noted that the casing may be removably attached to the supportof the wind shield and by simply turning a crank the shield may be keptclear of foreign matter, such as dust, water, sleet, etc. In operation,when the shaft is rocked the rod 0 will swing back and forth causing thewiper F to move horizontally against the wind shield, the wire T servingto hold said wiper in a vertical position as it moves back and forth,thus affording a simple and efficient device whereby the wind shield maybe cleared of forei matter, dust, water, sleet, etc., and a mec anismwhich may be easily and quickly attached to the wind shield of anyautomobile.

What I claim to be new is:

1. A wiper for wind shields of automobiles, comprising a casing adaptedto be supported u on a frame of a wind shield, a rock shaft journaled insaid casing, a wiper frame and wiper therein, a rod pivotally mounted atits lower end in said casing and its upper end pivoted to the wiperframe, a disk fixed to said shaft, and connections between the disk andsaid rod for swinging the same and causing the wi er to be moved backand forth against the wind shield.

2. A wiper for wind shields of automobiles, comprising a casing adaptedto be supported u on a frame of a wind shield, a rock sha t journaled insaid casing, a wlper frame and wiper therein, a rod pivotally mounted atits lower end in said casing and its up or end pivoted to the wi orframe, a disk xed to said shaft, a bearing member pivotally mountedmioh' said disk In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my and throughwhich said rod as a play, a signature in presence of two witnesses. rodpivoted at its upper end to the wlper frame and its lower end fastenedabout said GUSTAVUS SHULER 5 shaft, said shaft adapted to be given arock- Witnesses:
